Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm diving deep into understanding the nuance of the 2w1 subtype and could use some insights. The blend of the nurturing Type 2 with the principled Type 1 seems like a fascinating mix of heart and ethics. For those of you who identify as 2w1, how do you experience the dynamic between your desire to help others and your inner critic's high standards? Do you find that the 1 wing adds a level of perfectionism to your caregiving, or does it create a sense of balance and order in your compassion? Also, in what ways do you think the 1 wing influences your interpersonal relationships, especially when it comes to boundaries and self-care? Any personal stories or examples would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences! 😊✨ #Enneagram #2w1 #SelfDiscovery #PersonalGrowth
Hi there! 🌟 As a fellow 2w1, I can totally relate to your quest for understanding this unique blend of heart and ethics. The interplay between wanting to help and the high standards of the inner critic is indeed a fascinating dance! 💃🕺 For me, the 1 wing definitely brings a touch of perfectionism into my caregiving. 🌼 I often find myself striving to be the best at helping others, making sure that all my actions are just and right. However, this can sometimes lead to feeling overwhelmed by not meeting my own high standards. 😓 But on the flip side, it also helps me maintain a sense of balance and order in my compassion, ensuring that my efforts are both genuine and effective. ☯️ When it comes to interpersonal relationships, the 1 wing influences my boundaries and self-care a lot. 🛡️ I used to struggle with saying "no" because I wanted to help everyone, but the principled nature of the 1 wing has taught me the importance of setting healthy boundaries. 🛑 It can be challenging, but it's a vital part of maintaining one's well-being. A personal example: there was a time when I was overcommitting to various volunteer activities. 📅 Always wanting to help but ended up burnt out. My 1 wing's influence nudged me to prioritize, delegate, and set limits, ultimately creating a more sustainable way to contribute without draining myself. 🌱 Hope this helps, and looking forward to hearing everyone else's experiences too! 😊✨ #Team2w1 #BalancingAct #HealthyBoundaries
